Before getting into anything else, it should be said that the Dallas Cowboys got thoroughly worked by the New York Giants on Sunday night. They deserved the 28-20 win as they outplayed the Cowboys in almost every way.<\/p>\n
The trio of Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo and Isiah Likely tortured Dallas all night. John Harbaugh has the G-men playing ball again. The NFC should take note.<\/p>\n
But the game didn\u2019t really have to go that way. There was a moment in time when the Cowboys could have seized control. Right around the two-minute warning to end the first half, the Cowboys recovered a fumble at their own 16-yard line, preventing a score and giving themselves a chance to break a 7-7 tie.<\/p>\n
The Giants had controlled the early part of the game, but Dallas was back in it with a chance to take the lead heading into halftime.<\/p>\n
Then the mistakes started to happen. First, Dak Prescott dropped a dime on George Pickens deep into the Giants secondary, but Pickens dropped it. Then, facing a third down, Dak made a huge error. He decided to launch a desperation heave to save a sack, but instead of getting it out of bounds, he threw an interception. New York took over with 58 seconds left before the half at the 45-yard line.<\/p>\n
Then the defense just fell apart. It took the Giants 29 seconds to cover 55 yards and score a touchdown. 29 seconds.<\/p>\n
The Giants went into halftime leading 14-7. They got the second half kickoff, drove that for a touchdown and it Dallas was in catch up mode the rest of the way. They never caught up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Before getting into anything else, it should be said that the Dallas Cowboys got thoroughly worked by the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":346057,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[129557,9,24,55,54,56],"class_list":["post-346056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-dallas-cowboys-analysis","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346056","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=346056"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346056\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/346057"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=346056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=346056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=346056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
